I question whether this would actually be true. After all, Leica R and M lenses are optimized for a much larger format size than Arri/Zeiss, Cooke, or Angenieux. Also, Leica publishes performance data for all their lenses, and although they appear to have some good designs, I am aware of significantly better ones, particularly at the larger apertures. Also, none of the Leica R or M series are corrected for breathing, which seems to me to be a serious shortcoming.
I do wish that Arri/Cooke/Angenieux would publish performance data for their cine lenses, so that a truly realistic comparison could be made.
